@helloOrange2643 Hello, have you found yourself in a new environment? It can be difficult to adjust to these sometimes. I have gone through many new physical and social environments in my life- feel free to ask any questions you may have ☺️

@magicalTree4461 yes, it's confusing and overwhelming. Meeting new people is daunting.


How did u manage to do it?

I am just curious and openminded. I usually look for new experiences because I enjoy them and enjoy learning.

For me, it's about moving to a new school. I moved to a middle school in another state almost almost 3 years ago... The culture here is different and the quality of the school is unexpectedly kind of worse than the school that I used to go to. The schedules are not as tidy, the psychological help isn't actively helping the students, and the friends here ussuallz gossip instead of being straightforward with me. I am currently handling it by being friends with someone who don't gossip, and my mom is trying to get me organized. How about you? Are you doing okay?

I can relate to you.. I've had similar experience when I was in school. When I was transferred to new school, it took time to adjust to a new place and new people. As the days passed I found people who were kind and loving... So school was not that bad. U just gotta be patient when it comes to making friends.

I moved to an entirely new country!


I was studying at first and having a really hard time adjusting to it. I dont think I ever succeeded in adjusting, but I did survive. I thought I’d be moving back to my home country after studying, but I somehow ended up staying here to work. That was hard too because I already wasn’t good at socialising back home, let alone in a completely new environment 😅 I’ve gotten better over the years and my one takeaway from this is no matter what shape your in, just surviving is 100% an achievement worth celebrating!!!!
